User Reviews of Giant Robot Store

Yelp.com Review - by Sean C.

3.0 of 5 stars. A nice little store, more so than a gallery. You'll find a couple walls of art work, but make sure you go into both storefronts to see everything. The two aren't connected inside and I could see…

Yelp.com Review - by Brad S.

3.0 of 5 stars. You hear gallery and expect to walk in to find a gallery, but rather you find a store. The place is hipster cute, but doesn't push boundaries... it really call for the apathetic hipsters to get off…

4.0 of 5 stars. I delight in Giant Robot. As a HUGE fan of the Japanese superflat crowd (as epitomized by Murakami), this place is like paradise. Really cute t-shirts/accessories. Really cute books. Esoteric…

Yelp.com Review - by Alyssa S.

5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite gallery in all of New York. Seriously. It's in the same vein as Jonathan Levine, with artists that have an illustrative style. However, it is much more laid back and sells art that you can…

Giant Robot is a Communist Organization

Giant Robot is much more than idol worship. GR's spirited reviews of canned coffee drinks, instant gay packs, Japanese undies, Asian frozen desserts, and marinated butts have spawned numerous copycat articles...

4.0 of 5 stars. The shelf content is the same ol' Asianphile/Me-so-Ramen-me-so-cute/Post-skate merch that you'd find in the Westcoast GR incarnations. Well... it's a superficial store peddling superficial wares, but…

4.0 of 5 stars. Imagine your favorite comic book/gag-gift store gone completely Japanese. With a name like Giant Robot, it's hard to go wrong in here. There are tons of graphic novels, stuffed toys, t-shirts (for…
